Harry Jarvis: family papers
The depositor, Harry Jarvis, was, at the age of 16, sent by his father, Adolf Jaslowitz to Great Britain to stay with relatives, on account of growing anti-Semitism in Romania. Harry's parents and sister, Sonja, remained and spent much of the war years in various concentration camps and internment camps. They managed to survive this experience only for Sonja to be killed as the result of a British bombing raid. Adolf died shortly afterwards and Lotte came to Great Britain to be with her son. Whilst training to be a barrister she wrote a number of short stories (1617/3).
Samuel Nissen was a distant cousin of the depositor who was handed over to the Gestapo by the French in Tours, sent to Drancy internment camp and deported to Auschwitz where he survived the war (1617/5).
Mike Ovitz (1617/7), cousin of depositor, was an agent to many celebrities in the USA and later became vice-president of Universal Studios.
Hermann Jaslowitz was the depositor's grandfather.
